Is Love Subjective?

Is love subjective? When first hearing this question I had to further look into what the word 'subjective' means. I was a little confused but defined by Google search subjective means based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. So is love subjective? I think yes, love is subjective. Love is decided by how you feel, not facts. If you love someone you choose to love them because of what and how you feel. I thought I could get a good perspective of this question by asking my grandmother. She is very religious and when I told her about this blogging project, she seemed interested. Her opinion was the same as mine. 




She explained it to me by saying that she doesn't love me because she is supposed to, she loves me by choice, because of what she feels in her heart. I agree with my grandma on this one. "Love" is indeed subjective. The word is used much too freely these days, much as the word "friend" is. Can someone really LOVE a certain artist or brand of soda? Can a teenager really LOVE their boy/girlfriend? Similarly, I have loads of acquaintances, but only a handful of "friends". Just knowing someone does not mean they qualify as a "friend".
